Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

Chapter 358 " That settles it , then ! Shawn Inc. will handle production for our sleeping pills , and Lockheed Pharma will take charge of the Flametamers , " I concluded . " Now , about the formulae ... " I turned to Metis , signaling that it was her moment to shine That was when I noticed her eyes had been fixed on me the entire time . " Uh , Metis ? Hello ? Is there something on my face ? " Her cheeks flushed bright pink . " W - What ? Oh ! No ! Not at all ! What did you ... Right , the formulae ! Coming right up ! " She scrambled for a pen and some paper , then began writing . ' Oh God .

Sebastian is so irresistible when he's serious ! How could anyone not be mesmerized ... ' By the time Metis realized she had written the wrong formula , it was already too late . ' T - This one's for erectile dysfunction medication ! Why did I write this ? ' She glanced at Sebastian , her face burning . ' Well ... treating ED is just one of its many functions . A man needs to restore his energy and virility however he can! ' With that logic , she kept writing . A few minutes later , she handed us three separate sheets . Naturally , I asked , " Why are there three of them ?

" " This one's for our sedative - hypnotics - the sleeping pills . This is for the Flametamer . And this ... " She pushed the last page toward me and tapped it . " This is a bundled bonus . Buy two , get one free . A virility formula . " She added brightly , " It's very effective . I recommend it . " Metis meant well . Virility wasn't just about sex or lasting longer . It was about vitality and strength in all things . Still , when a woman offered a man something that sounded like Viagra , the implication was obvious and mortifying . I exchanged a look with Taylor .

He immediately turned to the window as if the sky had become the most fascinating thing in the world . " Dear Goddess of Medicine , " I began , " I don't need this . " " You're worried you'll become dependent on it , aren't you ? You won't . This formula guarantees that . It's completely harmless ! " she replied cheerfully . I stared at her flatly . " But I don't need it . " " Trust me , the effects are wonderful ! Can't you just take my word for it ? " she insisted , blinking and smiling like an angel . " I should be the one asking that ! You don't trust me !

" I retarted , pushing the formula back toward her . She sighed . " Oh , fine . I suppose I'll just keep i- " " Ahem , excuse me ? " Taylor leaned closer with a sheepish smile and extended his hand . " This might be a bit personal , but ... may I have the formula instead ? I could use it . " Metis and I froze . +25 Bonus A few seconds later , I gave him a knowing grin - the kind only men understood . " Of course , Mr. Lockheed . I'm sure it'll work wonders . She's probably the Goddess of Medicine herself . You'll be more than satisfied , I guarantee it . " " Haha , thank you ... I think ?

" Taylor replied with a dry laugh . He snapped a few photos of the page , then returned it . I started to hand it back to Metis , but she waved it off . " You can keep it . A goddess doesn't take back the medicine she bestows . " She gave me a teasing smile . " You'll need it someday , I'm sure . " Goddamn it , she had a point. In the end , I kept all three formulae with me . Comments ADMINJ
